In 2004, few songs were as popular as the country music song ‘Whiskey Lullaby’ by Brad Paisley. ‘Whiskey Lullaby’ was a beautiful duet that featured beautiful harmonies at the chorus and very touching lyrics. The song was accompanied by an equally moving music video that starred Rick Shroeder.

Stand up for love is an inspirational song coming from Destiny’s Child. I feel goose bumps every time it is playing. The message of this song is truly for the victims of Hurricane Katrina although it was written even before the hurricane happens. It makes my heart soft and …

Tears for Fears is one of the biggest 1980’s acts of all time. This duo had so many hits. But many of them are very obscure. (How’s that for an oxymoron?) The biggest hit of theirs to date has to be “Head Over Heels.” …

I am a guitar player and I am carrying my guitar constantly. To gigs, band practice, or even school. My guitar case by the brand road runner is great and very reliable. The top pocket is good for my picks and my other important accessories for maintenance and …

Sunshine is a song by Sledding With Tigers and is the fifth song on their first album, No Randy No. Transitioning fluidly out of Love Songs Are Dumb Songs, Sunshine opens up with a group of cynical lyrics sung by a chorus of voices. Personally, I’ll say right now …

Produced by Erik Rutan and Cannibal Corpse, released on Metal Blade Records in 2006, this is the band’s 10th album, and first not to feature explicit artwork, they decided to put the artwork intended for the cover on the inside of the album. Unlike most albums by the band …

Although twelve tracks does not sound like very many, something of which that occurred to …

I guess I can never get tired of James Blunt’s songs. I do think that he is one of the few singers who can seriously sing and at the same time mean his songs.
From the lyrics to the melody to the delivery, James Blunt’s music really touches my …

This cheeky singer is probably most well known for her hits —˜Smile’ or —˜LDN’. Well, she is back with a more entertaining, grown up perspective on life, love and most other things under the sun with her new album —˜It’s Not Me, It’s You’. Her first release, whilst great pop …

Director: Billie Woodruff.

The important part, the music is very good and is sung with quite a bit of ability.
There is quite a variety of songs. Miss Underwood …

Let the Ground Know Who’s Standing On Him is the 2004 debut album of American singer/songwriter Anousheh Khalili. The album was a great find via Internet radio service Pandora.com.

I was a fan of Sevendust way back in my NU-Metal days. Their debut album was really good sans a few forgettable tracks, and at the time different from most of the music being released. Their vocalist, being R and B Soul singing trained, is able to present a …

And just what were U2 thinking when they were recording, and subsequently, releasing this album? It is one of the mysteries I have always been puzzled by. I am a huge U2 fan. Probably, currently not as big of a fan as I was in the past, in my …

Susannah McCorkle is one of my favorite jazz singers. That?s saying a lot, because I love listening and watching women sing jazz.
Susannah McCorkle has a very interesting, rich voice that can sound innocent and pure like June Christie or hauntingly memorable in her very special version of The Waters …
